Helping Businesses Prosper Through Strong Partnerships

The City of Malden offers businesses a place where they can be successful.  The strong partnership between the City and local businesses fosters an environment built to provide opportunities for expansion and productivity.

Here's a sample of the help we offer:

Single Point of Contact

Having a Single Point of Contact can help maximize city resources on your behalf. One staff person is charged with reviewing your application for completeness, tracking applications through the process, and serving as a coordinating role for other boards, commissions, and department staff. Their responsibility is to work with applicants and coordinate the efforts to apply for the necessary permits and licenses.

Site Selection and Planning

Our staff works with industrial and commercial development projects to expedite the permit process for business relocation or expansion. We also promote programs and policies that better balance the city's responsibility for resource stewardship with the need to accommodate development in a fair, predictable, and timely manner.

Permit Assistance

Our staff will work with you to schedule a pre-application Project Review that would convene staff from permitting boards, commissions, and departments to meet with you and your consultants to discuss the development proposal. A Project Review allows you to present the proposed project, prior to filing formal applications and have any major issues that could require project modification identified, along with any neighborhood concerns.

Business Retention Services

The City of Malden recognizes the contribution businesses already located here provide to our economy. Let us know about potential hurdles or concerns and we can offer customized business development services and resources that allow you to be successful.

Data and Analysis

The City of Malden provides this Data and Analysis Service to assist businesses in conducting research about Malden during the site selection process. Here you can find out more about Malden’s demographics, workforce, education, industry sectors, or related matters that are relevant to the location or expansion of your business.
